Cameron Crazies

The Cameron Crazies are the student section supporting the Duke Blue Devils mens basketball team. The section can hold approximately 1,200 occupants, the Crazies are famous for painting their bodies blue and white or wearing outrageous outfits. They start their cheering as soon as warm-ups begin, throughout the game, the Crazies jump up and down when the opposing team has possession of the ball and yell cheers in unison at focal points of the game. The Cameron Crazies were named after Cameron Indoor Stadium, where the basketball games are held. The name became known as Mike Krzyzewskis program became one of the best in the country. In an article about the Crazies published in 2007, Al Featherston stated, Dukes crowd may or may not be the best student section… but it is the standard by which all others are measured. Over the years, some have noted that the Crazies have calmed down due to restrictions, Krzyzewskiville is a makeshift city in which the Cameron Crazies camp out before games in order to get seats. It was believed to be created in 1986 when around 15 drunk students rented a tent Thursday night, students followed the trend and eventually Krzyzewskiville became almost like an official town with its own metal placard. Before big games, like those against rival the University of North Carolina, since the 1980s, the Cameron Crazies have sent home humiliated opponents. Once during a game, a network had to turn off the sound because the Crazies were chanting about one of the sponsors. Once, while losing to NC State, the Duke crowd started chanting, Thats alright and you will work for us one day. Cameron Crazies popularized many now-famous cheers and taunts, the most widely known of which is the air ball cheer, another famous instance of the Crazies antics occurred in a Duke/UNC matchup on February 9,2005. It was Roy Williams first visit to Cameron Indoor as UNC head coach after leaving his head coaching position at the University of Kansas. The Cameron Crazies used this knowledge and greeted the visiting Tar Heels in creative fashion, some Duke fans dressed up as characters from The Wizard of Oz and prepared a yellow brick road for the Tar Heels to communicate that Williams was not in Kansas anymore. One of their most famous chants occurs whenever a player fouls out. As the player back to his bench, the Crazies mockingly wave at him. When he sits down, they yell, See ya, several players have been known to keep standing for long periods—as long as the remainder of the game—to keep from hearing See ya. In the past, the cheers and chanting have offended some coaches and fans, including Coach Krzyzewski, television networks also took notice at one point, in 1979, NBC insisted on a time-delay so that the crowd could be censored if necessary

Krzyzewskiville
–
Krzyzewskiville, or K-ville for short, is a phenomenon that occurs before major mens basketball games at Duke University. In simplest terms, it is the line for students wishing to gain access to the designated tenting games. It is often referred to as a ticket line. However, there are no student tickets, students are admitted from the line an hour, Krzyzewskiville is named for Mike Krzyzewski, often called Coach K, the much loved coach who has helped make Dukes basketball program one of the best in the nation. Showing up on Thursday for the Saturday tip-off, the fifteen friends set up four tents and they were quickly noticed by the rest of the student body, and by game time there were 75 tents in line to see Duke battle their long-standing rival UNC. The NBC news crew put them on the news. Their dedication was rewarded with an 85-72 Duke victory, and tenting in K-ville quickly became a Duke University tradition, the number of tenting games in a single season is determined by the Line Monitor Committee of the Duke Student Government. The UNC game is always a game but potentially there may be a second game where tent order determines seating. Months before the game, students begin to put up. As many as twelve people can occupy a specific tent group, as regulated by Duke Student Government, there must be a certain number of students in the tent at regular, periodic checks. From the beginning of tenting in early January for the first two weeks, tents of 12 must have 2 people in the tent during the day and 10 people each night. For the next two weeks, tents must have 1 person in the tent during the day and 6 people each night, for the final two weeks before the game, tents still must have 1 person during the day but only 2 people each night. The two weekend nights prior to the game are personal check nights, during each of the twelve tent members must be at the tent for 3 of 5 personal checks spread over the two nights. If a tent misses a tent check twice, it moved to the end of the line. If K-ville is at capacity and a waitlist exists at the time of the second miss. Tenters that lose their spot or non-tenters can, however, take their chances at the walk-up line, the walk-up line consists of couples, and one member of each couple must be in line at all times. People in the line are not guaranteed to get into the game. Tents must register with the line prior to setting up

A goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the grounds into the basket and stays there, if the ball rests on the edges, and the opponent moves the basket, it shall count as a goal. When the ball out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field. In case of dispute the umpire shall throw it straight into the field, the thrower-in is allowed five seconds. If he holds it longer, it shall go to the opponent, if any side persists in delaying the game, the umpire shall call a foul on them. The umpire shall be the judge of the men and shall note the fouls and he shall have power to disqualify men according to rule 5. The referee shall be judge of the ball and shall decide when the ball is in play, in bounds, to side it belongs. He shall decide when a goal has been made and keep account of the goals, the time shall be two fifteen-minute halves, with five minutes rest between. The side making the most goals in that time shall be declared the winner, the following is a list of some of the major NCAA Basketball rule changes with the year they went into effect.
